Bio Unit #1 test Flashcards
what are Monosaccharides explain…
Simple sugars eg.
Glucose Mon= 1
Made out of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
Naturally found in fruit and vegies
How do Plants make sugar?
Photosynthesis
How is cellular respiration different for monosaccharides and disaccharides?
Monosaccharides: we eat sugar cells break down into carbon dioxide and water to gain energy.
Disaccharides: when we eat our body breaks them down into monosaccharides then break down to gain energy
what are Disaccharides? explain..?
made of two monosaccharides boned together
eg. sucrose or lactose
naturally found in some fruits
what are the three types of polysaccharides ( carbohydrates)
Cellulose
Glycogen ( processed foods)
Starch ( carbs)
Cellulose
- made out of glucose molecules bonded with long chains
eg. celery, broccoli, beans, peas
we can’t digest or break down cellulose into glucose - found in all plant cells
Starch
made of glucose in long chain
eg. potatoes, carrots, corn, peas
plants store extra sugar as starch to save for later
when we eat starch we break down to glucose
Glycogen (processed foods)
high in monosaccharides eg. donuts, cookies, cakes
High in polysaccharides eg. pasta, bread
excess glucose is stored as glycogen in muscle and liver cells
Monosaccharides structure?
glucose and fructose have 6 carbons
ribose and dexoyribe has 5 carbons
why do we need nutrients?
you need to consume that allows your body to function or work properly. it gives us the energy we need.
each person
saturated fats
made from saturated fatty acids.
no double bonds, forms a straight chain
they are solid
an example found in meat and coco butter
this is less healthy
unsaturated
made from unsaturated fatty acids
have double bond and chain is bent
they are liquid
ex. avocado or nuts or olive oil
Phospholipids
2 fatty acids and a phosphate group attached to a glycerol
they are modified triglycerides
steroids
lipids
how many amino acids are there?
22
What are the protein structure?
primary structure
secondary structure
tertiary structure
quaternary structure
